adjusts to the surrounding con-
ditions, when used again.
To increase vehicle stability,
activate VSC Vehicle Stability
Control System again as soon
as possible.
An experienced driver may be
able to achieve better accelera-
tion values in VSC OFF mode.
The Sport mode button influ-
ences the driving dynamics
properties of the vehicle.
The following systems are
affected, for instance:

This chapter describes all stan-
dard, country-specific and
optional features offered with
the series. It also describes fea-
tures and functions that are not
necessarily available in your
vehicle, e.g., due to the selected
options or country versions. This
also applies to safety-related
functions and systems. When
using these functions and sys-
tems, the applicable laws and
regulations must be observed.
The instrument cluster is a vari-
able display. When the sport
mode switch is used to change
the driving mode, the instrument
cluster displays change to
match the driving mode.
The display change in the instru-
ment cluster can be deactivated
via Toyota Supra Command.
Some of the displays in the
instrument cluster may differ
from the illustrations in this
Owner's Manual.
If the displays on the instrument
cluster fail, do not use the vehicle.
There may be a risk of accident or
risk of damage to property. Immedi-
ately park the vehicle in a safe man-
ner.If drive readiness is switched off
and on again, the malfunction may
be rectified and i t may be possible
to continue driving. If the malfunc-
tion cannot be remedied, have the
system checked by your Toyota
dealer.

CONTROLS
Always avoid engine speeds in
the red warning field. In this
range, the fuel supply is reduced
to protect the engine.
Depending on the vehicle equip-
ment, the shift position indica-
tors on the instrument cluster
indicates the maximum shift
point at which the best possible
acceleration can be achieved.
Depending on the equipment
and nationalmarket version, the
Shift lights are active in the sport
mode of the Automatic transmis-
sion and with manual transmis-
sion.
When the selected driving mode
is sport mode, a shift light will be
displayed.
Automatic transmission:
1Select SPORT using the
sport mode switch.
2 Activate manual mode of the
transmission. • Successive orange illumi-
nated fields indicate the
upcoming shift moment.
• The field lights up red. Do not wait any further to shift.
When the maximum speed is
reached, the entire display
flashes red and the supply of
fuel is interrupted in order to
protect the engine.

If a prewarning is provided,
respond by braking as war-
ranted.
An acute warning is displayed in
case of the imminent danger of
a collision when the vehicle
approaches another object at a
high differential speed.
Intervene in the case of an
acute warning. Depending on
the driving situation and the
equipment version, the acute
warning may be accompanied
by a brief activation of the brak-
ing system.
With the warning time setting
"late" the brief activation of the
braking system is omitted.
If an acute warning is provided,
the system may also provide
assistance, such as through
braking, when there is risk of
collision.
Acute warnings may be pro-
vided even when there has been
no prior warning.
The warning prompts the driver
to intervene. When the brake
pedal is pressed quickly and
hard, the maximum braking
force of the vehicle is used.
The system may also assist in braking if there is a risk of colli-
sion.
When the vehicle is traveling at
a low speed, the vehicle may
come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a
brake intervention up to a com-
plete stop, the engine may be
shut down.
City brake function: the braking
intervention occurs to up to
approx. 53 mph/85 km/h.
With radar sensor: the braking
intervention occurs to up to
approx. 155 mph/250 km/h.
At speeds above approx. 130
mph/210 km/h, the braking inter-
vention occurs as a brief braking
pressure. No automatic delay
occurs.
The driver may interrupt the
braking intervention function by
stepping on the accelerator
pedal or by actively moving the
steering wheel.
The system’s ability to detect
objects may be limited in some
circumstances. Refer to the
information in this Owner’s Man-
ual regarding the limitations of
the system and actively inter-
vene as warranted.

ver.
The warning prompts the driver
to intervene. When the brake
pedal is pressed quickly and
hard, the maximum braking
force of the vehicle is used.
If there is a risk of collision, the
system may also assist with
brake intervention.
When the vehicle is traveling at
a low speed, the vehicle may
come to a complete stop.
Manual transmission: during a
brake intervention up to a com-
plete stop, the engine may be
shut down.
The braking intervention can be
interrupted by stepping on the
accelerator pedal with sufficient
force or by actively moving the
steering wheel.The system responds to pedes-
trians and cyclists when the
speed of the vehicle is below
approx. 53 mph/85 km/h.
The system's detection potential
is limited.
Thus, a warning might not be
issued or be issued late.
The following situations may not
be detected, for instance:

Partially covered pedestrians.
 Pedestrians that are not
detected as such because of
the viewing angle or contour.
 Pedestrians outside of the
detection range.
 Pedestrians having a body
size less than 32 in/80 cm.

WARNING
The system is designed to oper-

cumstances. Due to conditions or
other factors, the system may not
respond. There may be a risk of
